[LU] takeover actually happening ??????
Not sure why it has taken so long to do so but the latest statement seems to say that proof of funds has now been submitted (I thought that was the first thing people had to do to talk to Bates ?) Also they say that the rumours / stories about Sharia law are nonsense. If GFH are the answer then it is better late than never but i do feel that this should have been done prior to the start of the season or at least prior to transfer window closing - that way we could have brought in better players and presumably been in a better league position come December - but more importantly the new owners could have 'ridden the wave of optimism' that would have existed then, leading to more season ticket sales and a better general atmosphere around the place. Now that optimism has drifted away and fans are fed up to the back teeth with it all. The delay has not done GFH credibility any good either - they would have been hailed by many as rescuing us from Bates - now they need to show that they are indeed better than the devil we know (hard to see how they could be worse than Bates but who knows) The proof of it all will be when we enter the transfer market in January - will we get the players Colin wants or will we see them going to lesser clubs as has happened continuously under Bates Dave ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate
Re: [LU] takeover actually happening ??????
I read through the statement this morning after David Haigh had tweeted about it and do you know what I didn't care, not a flicker of emotion about the takeover. I have got to the point where after years of neglect by bates, the poor standard of football we play I am considering what it will take to make me go back to ER on a regular basis. I don't think the takeover alone is enough for me, this surprises me as I have been watching Leeds since I was a 5 year old in '75 and would have walked across broken glass in the past. I have now started weighing up the financial cost of watching Leeds for me and the lad with the cost of less frequent long weekends away in Spain for me and the family and taking in watching Barca. I know which my wife prefers. I know i will get slated from some quarters but I can't be the only one thinking like this.

Re: [LU] takeover actually happening ??????
Chris, Although I am slightly interested about the takeover finally being completed - and what the consequences might be for the club, I gave up my season ticket this year and don't miss going at all - home games had become a chore not a pleasure. And it's not just Leeds I'm disinterested in either - I'm generally fed up with football. The premier league, the FA, UEFA, FIFA, the money, the media circus, so far removed from the game I fell in love with as a 7 year old watching the 1986 world cup. Bah. Humbug.

Go to echo all this... I'm totally neutral about this GFH lot, rumours of funds not being there, the delays, the statement against the Trust etc in August I would have been excited.

Also don't seem to care about care about football in general, didn't turn Sky Sports back on until Friday for the Sheff Weds game and I only did that because of Sky's half price offer and only watched Barca Celtic since.

Re: [LU] takeover actually happening ??????
To be honest I have zero interest in football outside of LUFC and a rapidly diminishing interest in the England team (I have stopped going but still watch them on TV) I do not watch any other games on TV inc MOTD - I zip through the Football League show to watch our highlights only. I do not even follow results etc I don't think it is just LU fans though - I know 2 ManU season ticket holders and for the last few years they have dithered about renewing and are totally disillusioned with the beautiful game.

Re: [LU] takeover actually happening ??????
I thought it was getting old and finding things like football less important but if everyone feels like this maybe I'm not Yeah - I feel pretty much the same. I am SO tired of this take-over nonsense that I've come to expect nothing at all. And the team - well, I'm completely nonplussed. In the last year, I have at no stage even considered going to a game and it'll take something fairly mighty to change my attitude. Over the last few years I've found myself watching other sports much more (RL and American Football particularly, even Baseball!) and I find my levels of excitement to be much higher these days with those teams than they ever are with Leeds anymore. I don't think my heart rate even went up when they scored against Wednesday last week. One of the main things that strikes me, in comparing the various teams I follow, is that all the others are always doing everything they can to improve their chances. Even if they're at the top of the tree (e.g. Leeds Rhinos), then they don't rest on their laurels. I'm a 25-year supporter of the Washington Redskins, who in a startling piece of coincidence, last won anything in 1992 (I also got married in 1992, and the coincidence has not been lost on me - she's clearly a fecking jinx!). There have been many, many bad years as a Redskins supporter since then, but no matter what, every season has brought new hope and a belief that they are at least trying to do something to make themselves winners again. I'm not saying that Leeds United don't try to improve, or win games. But the level of ambition in evidence has dwindled to an all-time low under Bates to such an extent that you can barely see the dot of light from the bottom of the well we find ourselves in. How we're as high in the table as we are is a complete mystery.

Re: [LU] takeover actually happening ??????
Well I can officially announce that I am not going tomorrow. The football and the general feel about the place is not good and to be honest I can't stand to watch Becchio and the likes try to grind out a result. I'm not expecting Messi just a club that cares about its fans and players who can do the basics. Looking forward to an afternoon in the pub.

Re: [LU] takeover actually happening ??????
Sadly I'm on Nigel's side of the fence. I could never have imagined not taking my kids to see Leeds play, but the Bates/Wise scenario, the utter lack of ambition, even allowing for the near-bankruptcy, and the arrogance that sees them think they can charge £30 ish to watch sh*te means I may never actually go again. Like Nige, I follow the Rhinos more, went to Wemberlee glory-hunting (with the almost certain fact we'd lose!!!), and feel a part of it, like I once did at Leeds in all those years I bought a season ticket etc. OK, I'm a grumpy old so and so, and Ridsdale conveniently co-incided with marriage/kids etc, but the soul has gone from LUFC. It could be resurrected, but will take some doing. I suspect the takeover will not be the cash-cow everyone has hoped for - if they were cash-heavy they wouldn't be so concerned about any potential skeletons as much as they are? What they need to do is make the fans feel they're not being screwed - that will be a start!

While I agree with what has mostly been written (think I said as much in pre-season) last week in the dark corner of a shit bar in Lansing, MI watching on a laptop in the middle of the afternoon I still screamed Yes! when we scored and responded to the yank who asked what I was watching I said Leeds of course!

OK, I'm a grumpy old so and so, and Ridsdale conveniently co-incided with marriage/kids etc, but the soul has gone from LUFC. It could be resurrected, but will take some doing.

[LU] News of an old boy
Ex-Leeds and Millwall man playing for a pittance By Tim Street, from www.hounslowchronicle.co.uk Tresor Kandol is so desperate to be playing football again he is only demanding a pittance from Hampton Richmond Borough. The former Leeds United, Millwall and Barnet striker signed for the club last Friday after being put in touch with Beavers boss Mark Harper by defender Malvin Kamara. And Harper allayed any fears that Hampton, who have twice have to slash their budget mid-season in recent years, are splashing the cash. He said: Tresor now has a career outside the game so has not asked for a lot of cash, he just wants to be playing again. He wants to keep it ticking over and has done me a favour, and hopefully we can do him one too. We're not in the position to spend big money anyway. Someone was saying on the fans' forum we should be giving younger players a chance instead, but they can learn a lot from Tresor, like his movement on the pitch and how he conducts himself off it. Tresor is just training with us at the moment as we have to wait 30 days for international clearance, but as he was playing in Spain last season and not this one we're hoping it can be fast-tracked. ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate
Re: [LU] Non-LU: More tech help required.
Depending on what iRiver, you might eke a bit more life out of it if you put RockBox on it. http://www.rockbox.org/ - Si On 25/10/2012 09:09, Kneale, Andy wrote: Doom und gloom, re: my iRiver.

I don't want it to do anything else but play music; I don't need it to store photos, be a phone, access the web, tell me if my brother has reached the airport (ok I haven't got a brother), give me the latest recipe for duchess potatoes, etc, etc. I don't care if it's the size of a house brick, as long as it works. From looking at reviews on Amazon, it seems all the players have their faults.

[LU] All well and good but...
...If you've ever bought a sky subscription, I hope you're not moaning about the good old days. No mugs buying sky = football with a bit of soul and integrity. Sky subscribers are 100% responsible for the shite state of affairs. I'm sick of people claiming they never had sky, or that it wouldn't have mattered had they not had Sky. Everyone knew back in the 90s where it was leading, but some people just couldn't resist. No better than your average banker.

Erm I would be one of your average bankers - Average being the grunts who do all the work for one of the major banks, gets paid F all and takes all the shit from customer on the phone, and snide remarks such as this one (though I doubt it was aimed at the likes of me) - the name Banker fits for us all, but the public perception fits only a tiny tiny (less than 0.1%) minority of the people in the Uk classed as bank employees Otherwise, the rest of the post is spot on -Original Message- From: leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org [mailto:leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org] On Behalf Of dave walmsley Sent: 26 October 2012 23:30 To: leedslist@gn.apc.org Subject: [LU] All well and good but... ...If you've ever bought a sky subscription, I hope you're not moaning about the good old days.
